About

Leyburn & Middleham ward encompasses a largely rural portion of the Yorkshire Dales within the Richmondshire district. The area is characterised by rolling hills, pastureland, and the meandering course of the River Ure. The two main settlements are the market town of Leyburn, with its wide central square, and the historic village of Middleham, known for its significant castle ruins. Agriculture remains a central part of the local economy and landscape.

The ward is notably associated with horse racing, hosting numerous training yards around Middleham. This creates a distinct atmosphere, with strings of racehorses commonly seen on the roads and gallops. The terrain includes areas of limestone, with nearby scenic features like Leyburn Shawl, a wooded limestone terrace providing extensive views over Wensleydale. The local community is served by small, independent businesses centred around the traditional market and equine industry.
